Here at DiscovHER HEALTH, we care about treating women with HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA.
HS starts around puberty and may disappear between 50 to 60 years old. Although more common in women than men, it is more severe in men. In women, it often flares before the monthly period. Most patients have the mildest form of HS (70% of HS patients). Patients with mild disease have a few painful spots for a few weeks, followed by periods of weeks or months with no problems.
